David, the craftsmanship on these is incredible. The brown Bess looks like you could pick it up and load it. I would have loved to see a video of the production of them. The Lord sure has blessed you with an awesome talent.

David,
You're an amazing craftsman and I appreciate that you give glory to God for your talent. I wish I could be at the dedication but ironically I'll be in South Carolina. Would have been nice
to meet you in person.

Have you converted to tungsten carbide tipped chisels yet? I am just a hobbyists stone carver but I switched to using only tungsten carbide chisels a couple of years ago and they are so much nicer to use than regular stone carving chisels. I rarely have to sharpen them and when I do I just use a diamond stone and it doesn't take long.
